Cheng Yu was worried, he had already guessed that this army must have been sent by Xue Rengui; Originally, he could have left the heavy grain and grass and went directly to Dongpingling to meet Cao Cao first, but Cao Cao's current situation, he knew very well that once he discarded these grains and grasses, even if Cao Cao's army occupied Dongpingling, they could only starve to death!

Therefore, this grain and grass cannot be lost, and he does not dare to lose it!

At this moment, the herald sent by Cao Cao arrived and found Cheng Yu to pass Cao Cao's order, Cheng Yu shouted loudly at this moment: "Don't you see the current situation? Hurry up and report to the lord, the grain and grass are under attack, let him quickly send an army to the rescue! ”

This army was indeed Xue Rengui's, and when he received Yuan Shang's letter asking for help, Xue Rengui quietly led the army to fifty miles outside the Cao army's camp, and at the same time asked Yuan Shang to promise to pay for the Le'an Kingdom in Qingzhou. After Yuan Shang agreed, Xue Rengui agreed with him to let him evacuate first, and wait until Cao's army entered the city, and then lead his troops to attack Cao Cao's camp, and Cao's army would inevitably go out of the city to rescue; When the time comes, Yuan Shang will kill the horse pistol again, and he will be attacked from both sides, and Cao Cao will inevitably have no way to retreat.

After Yuan Shang received Xue Rengui's reply, he and Tian Yuyi totaled it, and they all felt that this plan was feasible, as for Na Le'an's promise, Yuan Shang planned to delay it first, and when Cao Cao was defeated and Liu Bei's reinforcements arrived, he would tear his face with Xue Rengui.

At this time, Cheng Yu urged the soldiers to escort the grain and grass quickly, and on the other hand, he organized 500 people, preparing to make the final desperate resistance, delaying the pace of the enemy, as long as Cao Cao's army came to support, Cheng Yu believed that he would be able to keep the grain and grass.

However, Cheng Yu's rear team of soldiers was not the elite in the first place, in the face of the charge of Xue Rengui's army, they were cold before fighting, as soon as the two sides came into contact, Xue Rengui took the lead, rushing to the front, which one of the Cao soldiers was his enemy, and the ten thousand heavenly halberds in his hands were like tigers entering the flock, constantly reaping the lives of Cao Jun.

"Drop! Xue Rengui's skill Kejie is detected, his own strength +4, command +2, commander +2, weapon Wantian painting halberd force +1, mount elephant dragon force +1, the current Xue Rengui force increased to 107, command increased to 100, Pei Renji's force increased to 96, and Wang Yanzhang's force increased to 103. ”

Wang Yanzhang has been very low-key since he surrendered to Wu Liren with Zhang Xiu, and Wu Liren can't figure out what his mind is, so he has never dared to use it. Later, after letting him lead part of the city defense army, he had no opinion, and he had been conscientious and loyal, until one day, when Wu Liren asked Jia Xu if he could reuse Wang Yanzhang, Jia Xu said bluntly: "Although Wang Xian's words are few, it is actually because he is a general; His loyalty to his former master is commendable, so he does not want to make a name for himself. Now Zhang Xiu has no other ambition, Wang Xian can not be reused as a hero, and his heart will mourn; If the lord is willing to let go of the mustard and entrust him with a heavy responsibility, will he not serve the lord and die? ”

This passage made Wu Liren finally decide to reuse Wang Yanzhang, so when he fought in Shandong Taishan, he took him with him, although he didn't have much opportunity to perform, but Wu Liren knew his ability, so when he left Xue Rengui to guard Mount Tai, he let him stay too.

How could the five hundred Cao army be able to stop the wolf-like army of Xue Rengui, in just a moment, the dead and wounded, the fleeing, and scattered, only Cheng Yu and a few loyal Cao soldiers were by his side.

Xue Rengui rode over on his horse, looked at Cheng Yu with a dead face, and said with a smile: "Cheng Yu, now that Cao Cao's general trend is gone, why do you still have to work for him?" My lord is thirsty for talent, and if thou wilt turn to my lord, thou shalt be reused. 'Today is a great chaos, and heroes rise together, and there will be a life for the world, and those who can stop the chaos in the world will be chosen by this wise man. The winner is prosperous, and the owner is lost', can General Cheng remember this passage? ”

This passage is when Lu Bu rebelled, and Cheng Yu persuaded the county order of Fan County when he was guarding the three cities of Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fan County behind Cao Cao, how could he not remember? Now Xue Rengui is using this passage to tell Cheng Yu, just to persuade Cheng Yu to surrender when he understands the times.

Cheng Yu laughed and said, "The old man is over the age of six, how does Wu Ming want to use me?" Since you know this sentence, you must remember another sentence: Cao makes Jun Zhi slightly unborn, and he is bestowed by heaven! The lord treats me kindly, and it is rare for me to die in return, if today's fate is like this, Cheng Yu has nothing to say! Lord, Cheng Yu can't stand you, go first! ”

After speaking, he wiped the long sword in his hand towards his neck, and in an instant, blood splattered three feet, and the whole person turned over and fell.

Xue Rengui's face changed, and he wanted to step forward to stop it, but where was the time, and in addition to sighing, he asked Cheng Yu's body to be put away and buried after the war.

Xue Rengui sighed, but he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately led his troops to continue the pursuit, and the Cao army, which was escorting grain and grass, moved slowly, and was caught up after a while. At this time, Cheng Yu was dead, they were already a group of dragons without a leader, facing Xue Rengui's army, and after a little resistance, they were all scattered.

But these grains and grass, at first, Cao Cao spent a lot of effort to snatch them back from Yuan Shang's hands, and after nearly half of the more than 10,000 troops, Cheng Yu wanted to transport them back to the city, but it backfired. When Xue Rengui saw it, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that Cao Cao is really exhausted, otherwise Cheng Yu would not have put his life on the line for this mere tens of thousands of stones, grains and grass." ”

At this time, Pang Tong on the side smiled and said, "What the general said is extremely true!" If these grains and grasses are burned, the morale of Cao Cao's army will inevitably drop to the lowest level, and Cao Cao is not far from death! ”

Xue Rengui shook his head and said: "Although what the military advisor said is not bad, it's just that now that Cao Jun has not come, he is burning grain and grass now, and it is inevitable that there will be some violent destruction." It is better to prepare more dead wood and branches, mixed with a little grain and grass, so that Cao Cao mistakenly thinks that the grain and grass are destroyed. I asked General Pei Renji to divide 1,000 troops and escort the grain and grass back to the camp first, so that it could be used by our army. ”

Pang Tong nodded, "General Xue is far-sighted and admirable!" ”

At this time, the heralds sent by Cao Cao had returned to Dongpingling and brought all Cheng Yu's words; Hearing this, Cao Cao's face changed, and he was shocked and said: "Wu Ming, you really don't leave me a way to live!" The rear team was attacked, the food and grass were not guaranteed, and my life was suspended! What is the use of this lonely city! Quick, come with me to rescue Cheng Yu and get back the grain and grass! ”

This news not only made Cao Cao uneasy, but other civil and military forces were also like ashes, thinking that as long as they could gain a firm foothold temporarily, it was almost the wheat ripening season, and when the time came, Jinan and Le'an would harvest a season of wheat on the ground, and the army could be maintained for a period of time, but I didn't expect this Xue Rengui to still do it.
